Psalms 84

1 For the music director. A psalm of the descendants of Korah. On the gittith. How wonderful is the place where you live, Lord Almighty!

詠【朝拜上主歌】 科辣黑子孫的詩歌，交於樂官。調寄「加特」。 萬軍的上主，您的居所是多麼可愛！

2 I long, I ache, to be in the courts of the Lord. My mind and my body sing for joy to the living God.

我的心靈對上主的宮庭渴慕及緬懷。我的心靈及肉身向生活的天主踴躍歡欣。

3 Even a sparrow finds a home there, and a swallow builds a nest for herself where she can raise her chicks near to your altars, Lord Almighty, my king and my God.

萬軍的上主，我的君王，我的天主，麻雀您的祭壇找到了住所，燕子也找到了安置 幼雛的窩巢。

4 How happy are those who live in your house—they are always praising you! (Selah)

上主，居住在您的殿宇，時常讚美您的，真是有福！

5 How happy are those whose strength is in you, those who are determined to make a pilgrimage.

那以您作為自己的助佑，居心朝聖的人，真是有福！

6 As they walk through the Valley of Tears it becomes a spring of water; autumn rains cover it with pools.

他們把他們經過的乾谷變為水泉，並以初雨給乾谷披上祝福的衣衫。

7 They go from strength to strength, and each one will appear before God in Jerusalem.

他們的體力越行越壯，來到熙雍覲見至高天主。

8 Lord God Almighty, please hear my prayer; please listen, God of Jacob. (Selah)

萬軍的上主，求您允我的懇請，雅各伯的天主，求您側耳傾聽！

9 Please God, look at our defender, look at the face of your anointed one.

天主，我們的護盾，求您目睹，請對您的受傅者予以回顧。

10 One day in your courts is better than a thousand anywhere else. I'd rather stand as a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live comfortably in the homes of the wicked.

的確在您的聖殿逗留一日，遠勝過在別處逗千日。我寧願站在我天主殿宇的門限，我不願逗留在惡人帳幕的裏面，

11 For the Lord God is our sun and shield, and he gives us grace and honor. The Lord doesn't hold back anything good from those who do right.

因為上主天主是護盾。上主常廣施恩愛和光榮；祂對行為正直純潔的人，從來不會拒絕賜祐賜福。

12 Lord Almighty, how happy are those who trust in you.

萬軍的上主，依賴您的人，那人才是真有福的。
